Sessions is an American apparel company located in Scotts Valley, California .

History

In 1983, Sessions was founded in Sunnyvale, California by Joel Gomez, a skater from Santa Cruz, as a retail store and clothing line that bridged skateboarding, snowboarding, and music. Sessions started a mail order business and ran an in-house record label between 1985 and 1997. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the mail-order catalog was often included as a circular with Alternative Press, SPIN, and other American music magazines, coinciding with the rise and acceptance of underground college and alternative rock by mainstream media.

Daniel Claus, an artist connected with a Sessions store in Chicago, put together a movie and small magazine/catalog called “Eight Ball” for Sessions. Pro skater/artist John Grigley who was riding for Vision at the time drew designs for T-shirts as did Van Franco.

Sessions signed Corey Duffel on to their PRO team.
